James Bratt
— Professor of History, Calvin College
"There was no one more important than H. J. Kuiper in shaping the Christian Reformed Church as it moved out of its immigrant phase in the second quarter of the twentieth century. In this close study, one both empathic with its subject and professionally executed, James DeJong helps us understand Kuiper in all his roles — as forceful journalist and ecclesiastical politician but also pastor, liturgical reformer, hymnologist, promoter of city missions — and always champion of Reformed orthodoxy. A window into the mind and spirit of a man, a denomination, and a social world now past but still influential."
Richard H. Harms
— Heritage Hall, Calvin College
"James DeJong provides the first detailed analysis of the process during the middle third of the twentieth century when the Christian Reformed Church made the transition from an immigrant denomination in North America to a North American denomination. He well describes the pivotal place of Rev. Henry J. Kuiper in this process as the denomination attempted to become part of a new, much larger culture without being changed by that culture."
John B. Hulst
— President Emeritus, Dordt College
"An always appreciative, sometimes critical but sensitive biography of Rev. H. J. Kuiper, a person of great influence in the Christian Reformed Church in North America and beyond."
